This November, we celebrate Native American Heritage Month—a time to reflect on the rich cultures, traditions, and histories of Native American communities. From the diverse languages and practices across tribes to the deep connections to the land, it's a reminder of the immense contributions and resilience of Native peoples throughout history. Here in Ohio, many tribes have called this land home, each with their own unique heritage and story. As we recognize Native American Heritage Month, take a moment to learn more, support Indigenous communities, and celebrate the vibrant legacies that continue to shape our world today. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #IndigenousPeoples #OhioTribes
